I, like Perderabo, have not seen anything like /dev/rmt0 before - I just figured it was a typo.
Since the mt command worked, try the tar command - just change it to /dev/rmt0 instead of /dev/rmt/0.
Then to see if it truely worked
$ tar tvf /dev/rmt0
That should give you a listing of what is on the tape. Always check the commands given versus what AIX may have especially since we have seen the one difference in how AIX vs others looks at tape drives.
